The murder happened before the social media outpouring. Might be hard to prove that was his aim. OTOH, we have his manifesto which should go down like a lead zeppelin defending the terrorism bit.

In any case, New York has to charge terrorism to nail him with first-degree murder. It's a weird law, but that's why they did it.

But under New York law, a first-degree murder charge only applies to a narrow list of aggravating circumstances, including when the victim is a judge, a police officer or a first responder, or when the killing involves a murder-for-hire or an intent to commit terrorism, legal experts told CNN.

Good point I thought about that, but I personally think it's very unlikely that the reason was something else. If the killer is indeed Luigi Mangione (wich we don't know and we should stop acting like he is. We are just harming him) the case is pretty clear.
